Ventsislav Milev was born in Sofia, Bulgaria in a family of travel specialists. He lived in London for a decade, studying Business Administration at Richmond University and Photography at Westminster University. He worked for British photo libraries and travelled extensively.
On return to his home country, he took over the family business and, for the last 13 years, he has been designing and managing regular (preset) and tailor-made tours in Bulgaria and most Balkan countries. He has been collaborating with Jim Gold International from Teaneck, N. J., Tradesco Tours from Woodland, CA, Sephardic Balkans from Philadelphia, PA, Inghams from the UK, and others.
Ventsi also guides many of his tours, perfecting the entire travel experience of his clients from the initial contact, through program writing and meticulous organization, to the invaluable human interaction on the road!
